[QUOTE="LarryBird, post: 4084847, member: 76548"] No, I don't think most people confuse their created personas and art with their actual lives. I guess some youngsters might. But anyone with half a brain realizes they're an amalgamation of the hood to an extent. They tell stories about things and people they saw in the hood and they take on those personas in their art for the most part. There are some real drug dealing homeboys in the rap game though, and a lot of the labels and artists were and still are initially financed with drug money. The rap game has been a money laundering endeavor in a lot of instances since the jump off. [/QUOTE]
